I still plan on finishing the “reconnecting with my gay uncle” story. But going forward, all my future stories will be based around the 90s.
I like to keep things in my stories believable or at least avoid pushing the boundaries of what I personally can suspend my disbelief for. That being said, writing the types of stories I like gets challenging setting them in the modern day because the prevalence of PrEP and undetectable statuses just makes the presence of HIV feel too safe and benign. Like a wild animal that got old and domesticated and lost its fangs.
But the 90s were definitely a golden age of risk for naive young men venturing into the shady world of anonymous gay sex. Where a poz guy’s dick still had teeth, so to speak.
I may have only been a small child in the 90s, but I remember enough to create stories in that era with authenticity.
